[BC] Police stations (MW)

[Harold Hallikainen]

I used to operate on that marine band! The Coast Guard was on 2182kc.
There was also the San Francisco Marine Operator on a couple frequencies.
Looks like the license (WP7350) just expired. The boat ran aground several
years ago. The radio I used was made (I think) by Karr. I think it had a
pair of 807s as the output and another pair as the modulator. There was a
motor-generator to generate the high voltage. It would start up when you
keyed the mic.
